Donate Here - Your donations help support such expenses as the inspection, maintenance and repairs to the dam, weed management expenses, and the hiring of boat ramp monitors to inspect all boats for invasive species, especially zebra mussels. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, so donations are fully tax-deductible.

If you wish, you may earmark your donation specifically for the dam maintenance fund. While the dam that preserves​ Richmond Pond is located on the property of the Lakeside Christian Camp & Conference Center, all lake users benefit from its existence and maintenance. The RPA has therefore created a special fund that augments what Lakeside expends to maintain the effectiveness and safety of the dam.

Please make donation checks payable to Richmond Pond Association and mail them to: Richmond Pond Association, PO Box 447, Lenox, MA 01240. ​ ​Or to use PayPal to make a contribution, click on the Donate icon below, and follow the instructions.
